Long before the Motor City Comic Con doors opened its doors Friday afternoon, fans - many dressed as their favorite characters - stood in a line snaking around the corner of the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi.

Through Sunday, more than 30,000 people are expected to fill the convention hall to the bursting point for the chance to meet some of their favorite actors and comic book creators. This weekend marks the 25th anniversary edition of the convention, generally considered Michigan's most anticipated pop culture event.
